Review of the Remediation Plus System

Join Us

By Cari
Miller, Director, Reading First Just Read, Florida!

The
Remediation Plus intervention program is a multisensory, systematic, phonics curriculum for all ages of
students who struggle with reading, spelling, and or handwriting due to LD,
dyslexia, or reading lag. Taught to mastery, everyday (45 min) to 1 to 3
students by teacher trained in the program.

R+
is based on five resources of reading research from:

National Institute of Health

Pat and Charles Lindamood

Combining Lindamood theory with kinesthetic, tactile, and speech

Dr. Samuel Orton and Anna Gillingham

Beth Slingerland- “Slingerland handwriting”

A
complete battery of assessments are given to all students, not for placement,
everyone starts on either lesson 1 or 2(if student can already blend) but for
teaching (prescriptive), so that the teacher knows each students
strengths/weaknesses.

Blending
with the ball- use the ball to roll to the student as the teacher segments and
states the sound then the student rolls it back as they repeat the sound. A
rice tray is kept on the table for students who have trouble blending the
sounds and executing the phoneme grapheme correspondence in their minds…then
they can write them in the rice tray where they can read them as they say them.

Finger
spelling (Orton- Gillingham) students finger taps one sound at a time before
writing.
